HARGING

If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged by connect-
ing the 

NC-88

 Overnight Battery Charger, as shown in the illustration, to the 

EXT DC

jack. If only 12 ~ 16 Volt DC power is available, the optional 

E-DC-5B

 DC Adapter (with

its cigarette lighter plug) may also be used for charging the battery.

A fully-discharged pack will be charged completely in 

10 hours

. Disconnect the 

NC-88

from the 

EXT DC

 jack and the AC line outlet.

Important Note

The 

NC-88

 is not designed to power the transceiver for operation (reception or

transmission).

Do not leave the 

NC-88

 connected to the transceiver for continuous periods in ex-

cess of 24 hours. Long term overcharging can degrade the Ni-MH battery pack and
significantly shorten its useful life.

Please be advised that the 

NC-88

 may contribute noise to TV and radio reception in

the immediate vicinity, so we do not recommend its use adjacent to such devices.
